The Teacher Resource Guide
We developed the Teacher Resource Guide to help you get your class up-to-speed on QuarkXPress 8. The Guide is applicable for students learning the software for the first time as well as experienced QuarkXPress users. It is available for both Mac and PC users in a single, downloadable file.
What’s Inside
The Guide contains a sample syllabus, 14 training modules, and an outline for deploying the modules in a classroom environment. The syllabus includes a capstone project for students to develop as part of the course, with class-time suggestions, and a sample grading scale.
The QuarkXPress 8 software manual and the “What’s New” in QuarkXPress 8 guide are also included.
How the Teacher Resource Guide Works
The training modules are designed with standard system fonts, so it is easy to deploy in your class as well as for take-home work. You can teach the software from start to finish, or you can pick and choose individual modules that complement your class.
For New to Advanced Students
Anyone brand new to page layout or QuarkXPress should start with module one — QuarkXPress Basics — and get up to speed quickly with the essential elements of working in QuarkXPress, from creating a new project to collecting for output. To prepare your students with basic skills for the creative job market, you will want to cover core modules in Text and Typography, Page Elements, Transparency and Drop Shadows, and PDF Output.
You can explore more advanced topics such as Job Jackets and Shared Content to broaden your students’ skills in workflow and collaborative design.

01 : QuarkXPress Basics
02 : Advanced Layout Construction
03 : Text and Typography (including *new* content on Design Grids and Hanging Characters)
04 : Page Elements (including new content on Bezier tools)

"The [Everything you need to know to become certified in QuarkXPress] workshop was well attended and very popular. We had so many students sign up that we did not have enough room in one lab. We needed to open an overflow lab to accommodate all of the students. For our students, having an opportunity to work exclusively with QuarkXPress outside of the curriculum in this workshop format was important. It was a great day of training…."
